M'O.MEN TO THE FRONT In many of the primitive tyoifk of social organization the women, rather than the men, were the real rulers. They ran everything. There are still countries in which the principal part which men play i.s to do the hunting and fishing, leaving the management of ‘evei’ythifig else, including money, to the women. Now, it seems possible, we are com ing back in America to conditions which date from the earliest forms of social organization.

But few realize that there has been an even greater tendency ahTe dollar for operating expenses, toward the accumulation by women and ha., made it impossible to do ‘I"'. I eminent statistician has recently esti- much ni'eded repairing and improv-lmated that the collective wealth of ing of the plant. Funds have beerr larking with which to ])aint the build ings on the campus, all _of which now present an unattractive appearance. It i.s to do this badly needed job that the effort is .to be made to raise the women of America, including life insurance policies marie out to them, is in the neig^bojhpodmf dollaf8-^lwo thousand millions. Today women own one-fourth to one-third of all of our American in dustries and they comprise from 30 to 55 per .cent of the stockholders of $.),.)()() to meet this emergency a.s anjr,ur large corporations. They are ben- expression of love and support on!eficiaries of 80 per cent of the life tlu' |)art of our people, Tm-spective of lienomination. M’hile this community has always shown a kind and sympathetic atti tude toward Thornweli, it is also true that no special campaign has ever been launched here in its behalf. There is not a liuilding^or memorial of any kind on the home’s campus a; a„^’linton gift. The«plain truth is— the community has never done what it should f()f this institution which has done more to make Clinton widely and favorably known than any other agency. Now that a call i.s made, and that for a very small amount in com parison lo other campaigns that have been made for other purposes in the past —there should he a community wide, glad, liberal resiionse to meet thi.s needy appeal. . If we turn our attention completely away from the inestimable value of the orphanage tp the community; its insurance written, which totals over- $100,000,000,000. Women buy 80 per cent of all the consumable commodities, and one out of every five persons gainfully em ployed is a woman. Tho.se are facts to think about, par ticularly for women to think about. They .-have a great opportunity but also a great responsibility. If \vomen are'eventually to be the real owner.s of America, as seems entirely pos sible, 1|hen the .sooner the combined common-sense of their sex is applied to affairk of government, business and industry, ,the better off the na tion will be.

He has called the turns to a nicety hitherto .and in Washington it is believed that his powers as a soothsayer are undimin-. ished. His forecasts come after a counting of noses, commonly: Mr. Farley comes forward with a good natured statement that the United States senate has been per mitted to talk about the president’s proposal to reform the courts, but that when the word ia given the sena tors will approve the pack-the-court measure. As Mr.-Fwrley sees it, there is notHhii;.lightest doubt. So'the j^tmaster general sheds the .role of soothsayer and habits him self as a ringmaster. The senators are the performing animals. They are permitted to snarl for the amusement of the populace, but the ringma^er will crack his whip and they will go through their routine. Assured that he will control the creatures, the ring master is patient. That is the picture. Does the senate accept Mr. Farley’s estimate of it? Does it concede that wihen he cracks his whip its mem bers do the things they have been taught to do?
